I remember grandma coming to visit when I was about 4 years old. She brought yarn and knitting needles and lots of beads and pipe cleaners. We made different types of dolls and decorations for the holidays. Grandma always had so much going on and loved to work with her hands. I love her dearly and am so happy I was able to know her for so long. I am happy that she has now passed on as I know she was ready to take the next step and meet up with grandpa. I love you grandma!!!

I am Donna (McBurney)Smith. My mother was Ferne(Hoag)McBurney. I believe Bea and mom actually lived together for awhile but I'm not sure just where. She was always a favorite visitor at the house as I grew up and whenever we would run into her while shopping. We knew we would get to sit and have a soda in Killians or Armstongs so Mom and Bea could catch up. I can remember playing with Loretta and her sisters. I also remember many visits to Krebs for ice cream. I know you will all miss Bea as much as I miss Mom. God Bless you all.
